143: The rural life of a billionaire CEO!
Wang Lin and Wang Ran dawdled, finally getting up just before 12 o'clock.
Wang Lins paternal aunt looked at the two sleepy-eyed individuals and slapped each of them: "Hurry up and wash up, it's time to eat!"
Whether it was because of the New Year, or knowing that Wang Lin could now make money, or because Wang Lin and Wang Ran had returned.
In short, these two meals were exceptionally lavish.
No one knew that Wang Lin actually usually loved Braised Pork over Rice; the sweet sauce mixed with rice, plus the rich but not greasy texture of the braised pork, was simply divine!
After a whirlwind meal.
Wang Lin and Wang Ran both patted their butts and left.
They had no intention of tidying up.
Wang Lins paternal aunt didn't mind; these two boys had always been like this.
"Alright, take a break later and have Wang Lins paternal uncle take you to the market! Buy the New Year's goods early!"
Going to the market!
This was definitely a very sacred and anticipated event for rural children.
After all, the market had all sorts of stalls, especially food, like Fried Liangfen, Grilled Sausages, Grilled Gluten, Sweet and Sour Mala Tang, Popcorn, Glutinous Rice Cakes, Cotton Candy, Huoshao with Vegetables... The two were already drooling.
They still remembered how, as children, the most anticipated thing was going to the market. Not only could they occasionally buy new clothes, but every time they could also eat a grilled sausage that was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and covered in chili powder and cumin powder.
Those were the happiest memories.
This time, they were going to relive that happiness.
.
3 PM.
The market was already filled with stalls.
The atmosphere for setting up stalls was still very strong at this time, and with the New Year approaching, there were many students, many children, many customers, and naturally, many vendors.
All kinds of things were sold; there was nothing you couldn't think of that wasn't sold here.
Like sharpening scissors, sewing clothes, mending shoe soles, saplings, seeds, puppies, all sorts of miscellaneous things.
However, Wang Lin and Wang Ran had never been interested in these things since childhood. Their first goal when coming to the market was to see if there was anything delicious!
Fortunately, today there were many things they had eaten since childhood.
Wang Lin hadn't eaten Sweet and Sour Mala Tang in a long time, so he ordered a portion of that, and then asked Wang Ran to buy a few Grilled Sausages.
Wang Ran, on the other hand, ordered a sweet and sour Spicy Noodle.
These two things, especially the sweet and sour one, were simply not sold anywhere else besides this place.
You couldn't find them.
While eating mala tang, Wang Lin looked at the constantly crowded people walking along the roadside.
All kinds of shouts and cries were incessant.
"The hustle and bustle of human life!" Wang Lin sighed.
On Zheng County's Financial Street, Wang Lin spent his days battling wits with Institutions in the stock market, discussing cars worth millions and houses worth tens of millions.
But at this market, Wang Lin ate a meal costing a dozen yuan and Grilled Sausages for a few yuan.
Oh, and two Roasted Sweet Potatoes bought by an old man, freshly roasted and still warm.
For a moment, Wang Lin felt his entire being had transcended.
The next second, his phone rang.
It was Zheng Huan calling, who respectfully said: "I'm very sorry, boss, for disturbing your work, but I've encountered some issues now!"
"Regarding the yingkou port stock, because of our continuous accumulation of chips during this period, some Hot Money have mistakenly thought there's a trend, so they're all rushing in. What do you think we should do? Should we continue to push it up or...?"
Wang Lin smiled and said: "There's still plenty of time, no need to push it up. Whoever wants to take over, just give them the chips!"
"In short, within 2 months, I hope you can acquire more than 1 billion in chips!"
Wang Lin spoke eloquently here, and the other end of the phone listened respectfully.
But the aunt sitting on a small stool next to him, also eating, was displeased.
What's going on?
How can someone be showing off while eating!?!
"It's true that a big forest has all kinds of birds. Sitting in a small tricycle, wearing a big cotton jacket, all sitting on small stools, eating noodles for a few yuan, what kind of 'sheep egg' are you pretending to be, talking about a business worth hundreds of millions?!"
The aunt's words were authentic Yu Province dialect.
Wang Ran, sitting nearby, couldn't help but let out a snicker.
Perhaps, only she knew that what Wang Lin said was actually true.
Wang Lin also looked embarrassed, smiled at the aunt, and said: "Auntie, I was just joking with a friend."
Then, Wang Lin said into the phone: "Alright, just follow that plan, 1 billion in chips."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
This little interlude, for Wang Lin, was more like an embellishment in life.
At his level, he couldn't really get angry about such things.
Or rather, he found it interesting.
Familiar hometown accent!
Wang Lin really enjoyed this market visit.
On the way home, the two of them were still gnawing on two Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
As for Wang Lins paternal uncle, he was smoking a Zhonghua cigarette, happily driving the electric tricycle in front.
The cold wind whistled past, and the two of them squatted in the back of the cart, chuckling... Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost New Year's.
All sorts of New Year's items at home were ready.
On New Year's Eve, Wang Lin sent out tens of thousands of yuan in Red Envelopes in the group, allowing his employees to have a lively time.
Of course.
Wang Lin also received many blessing messages and calls.
Most of them were his friends and partners.
Such as roommates Sun Haiyang, Li Xiaohui, Zhou Gang, and others.
The company's general manager Qian Shan, and Trader team leader Zheng Huan.
The Bubble Blind Box couple also sent a text message to their sugar daddy, not daring to call for fear of disturbing Wang Lin.
They only mentioned in the text message that they had already explored the path of trendy toys and IPs.
They would start working in this direction next year.
Plus Principal Wang and Director Mian from the school.
Alliance Leader Zhang, Xu Xiang, Old Brother Zhao, Stock Trading for a Living, and others he knew from the stock market.
Most of these stock market acquaintances were made during the Wangsu Technology battle; after all, everyone made money, celebrating together.
There were also Nuannuan and Li Yuanyuan, both of whom called.
This made Wang Ran as proud as a little peacock: "Hmph, my brother is making money now. On a big day like Spring Festival, many people must be sending him messages!"
"And two sisters-in-law!"
Wang Ran's words made Wang Lins paternal uncle and Wang Lins paternal aunt both look over.
"Really?!"
"Two?!"
Wang Ran nodded and said: "Yes, I've asked around. One is the beautiful older sister who first funded my brother's startup, she's very gentle. The other is my brother's secretary, very capable at work, and has an amazing figure. As you would say, 'big butt, good for having babies!'"
"But she's also super, super beautiful!"
Wang Ran was at a loss for words, only able to use "super beautiful" to describe the pretty older sister.
Wang Ran thought her parents would criticize Wang Lin.
Who knew that Wang Lins paternal uncle looked at Wang Lin happily, with a genuine smile on his face.
Wang Lins paternal aunt didn't say much, only: "Then, given this situation, will Linlin have children soon? Then your brother, Jian Shan, can also rest assured."
Wang Lins paternal uncle lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This kid Linlin has really made his way through hard work."
